WHAT YOU’RE IN FOR: This treatment celebrates the epic journey of Isabella Lucy Bird in British Malaya. As one of the most influential female explorers of her time, this intrepid Englishwoman spent most of her childhood feeling sickly and dreading the conformities of domestic life in England. Upon the suggestion of her doctor and with 100 pounds in her pocket, she commenced on a journey across the globe. Her time spent in British Malaya is famously chronicled in “The Golden Chersonese”—the ancient name of the Malay Peninsula as her evocative account of Malaya ignites the imagination of an exotic and exquisite land. Delectable fruits, and heavenly fragrant flowers were the subject of her studies while here. Essentially, The Golden Chersonese treatment is inspired by her awe of the richness and plentitude of natural beauty in Malaysia. The treatment begins with a banana honey hair mask for the couple, followed by a papaya coconut scrub. Bananas are rich in potassium and vitamins which will soften hair while the honey acts as a natural antioxidant to stimulate hair growth. A lime blossom bath will then be drawn for the lady while the man can enjoy a herbal steam bath. After being cleansed using natural ingredients, she can indulge in the Bunga Rampai massage while he will be treated to the East Indian Spice massage.
